[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, Feb. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - Etruscus Resources Corp. (CSE: ETR) (the \"Company\" or \"Etruscus\") is pleased to provide an update on the field work carried out on its extended Rock & Roll land package staked in 2019. The 16,646 hectares (ha) were staked in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, shortly after acquiring the original 4,723 ha Rock & Roll Property in early 2018 (Click here to view map). Highlights: Rock sample* assayed 25 g/t gold, 332 g/t silver, 5% lead at Hoodoo West Limestones found in Hoodoo West could help expand Black Dog horizon High concentrations of bismuth, a gold pathfinder element, in rock samples at Hoodoo West Expansion of gabbroic intrusion at Hoodoo North Etruscus mapped, prospected and collected 90 rock samples on the extended Rock & Roll claims. The goal of this exploration program was to follow up with historic showings, assess potential for new mineralized systems and map prospective Black Dog stratigraphy to the northwest. At Hoodoo West, Etruscus was able to identify numerous sulphide-bearing quartz veins extending the area of mineralization at this location to 300 meters (m) by 300 m. An angular float sample* from a polymetallic quartz vein returned 25 g/t Au, 332 g/t Ag and 5% Pb. The location of the sample was confirmed later in the season once the snow had melted. This area also lies close to the Triassic - Jurassic \"Red Line\" unconformity that runs proximal to many major porphyry deposits in the Golden Triangle. All of the limestone outcrops identified during the summer program on the extended claims have also become significantly more important since recognizing that the Black Dog sequence on the original Rock & Roll claims includes a conformable limestone unit above the deposit. The limestones are now a key stratigraphic marker that may aid in locating the Black Dog horizon in Hoodoo West. The 2019 drill program shows the limestone package to lie approximately 150-200 m stratigraphically above the Black Dog horizon. This will help the technical team target prospective rocks as geologists aim to expand the size and scale of the Black Dog mineralizing system. Samples taken from a southern ridge at Hoodoo West returned high concentrations of bismuth, an element commonly associated with gold. Just 22 km away, the Snip Mine that produced over 1 milli...
